Nephew is coming down to shoot his AR-10 . Wanted to check his barrel nut tourge . I have a old ar-15 barrel nut wrench , will it fit the AR-10 ? Thanks , Kenneth

Depends on the AR 10, that platform is all over the place and nothing is standardized. Our DMRs are just a couple years old. Now they’ve came out with a G2 version. The barrel nut is different as a weight saving measure. So the bottom line is I can’t help you much.

I've got three wrenches now. There are different nuts now for AR15s, depending on the float tube you have. Try what you have, if the pins line up, you're OK. If not, you'll need to go shopping.
